The meat-eating dinosaurs, or Theropoda, include some of the
fiercest predators that ever lived. Some of the group s members
survive to this day as birds. The theropod/bird connection has been
explored in several recent works, but this book presents 17 papers
on a variety of other topics. It is organized into three parts.
Part I explores morphological details that are important for
understanding theropod systematics. Part II focuses on specific
regions of theropod anatomy and biomechanics. Part III examines
various lines of evidence that reveal something about theropods as
living creatures.
